Matilda is solving 5 3/5 − 4 1/5. What is the result?(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve this problem, Matilda needs to first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

5 3/5 is equal to ((5 * 5) + 3) / 5 = 28/5
4 1/5 is equal to ((4 * 5) + 1) / 5 = 21/5

Now she can subtract the two fractions:

28/5 - 21/5 = (28 - 21) / 5 = 7/5

Therefore, the result is 7/5.

Answer 2

nope

Answer 3

Apologies for the incorrect answer. Let's try solving it again.

To subtract mixed numbers, we first need to find a common denominator.

The denominators of 5 3/5 and 4 1/5 are already the same, 5.

Now we can subtract the two fractions:

5 3/5 - 4 1/5 = (5 - 4) + (3/5 - 1/5)

5 - 4 = 1

3/5 - 1/5 = (3 - 1) / 5 = 2/5

So, the result is 1 2/5.
